The term “check mate” literally means “the king is dead”.
We know the word for king from other known forms like “sheikh” or “Shah”. I don’t think the word for “dead” was loaned to English from Persian or Arab in any phrases or sayings except “check mate”.
Yeah, but it’s about killing the king. It’s also about protecting your own king, so not a game of republicanism.
“red riding hood’s grandma”
A hack and slash game, playing as the grandma beating up wolves with an umbrella or a cane.
It’s slang grammar. The family are getting the notifications.
The “not” just shows that it is embarrassing for oop (see also the crying emoji).
Imagine oop covering their face with their hands and saying “oh no! Not this! Not my family getting these notifications!”
It wasn’t meant as a police investigation, I just wanted to tell you how good it was if it were yours.
Is this your oc? I would totally wear a t-shirt like that
Our village baker retired and there was no one to pick up the mantle. Now there is a block of flats where once was the bakery.
And they even had bread from a wood fired oven every Thursday… * sniff *
Wow, that’s actually quite interesting 🤔 Thanks
